While lost in thought, I suddenly felt the car co to a stop.
Turning to look out the window, I realized we had arrived at the destination, right in front of the villa with a courtyard at the border between the city and the countryside.
"We’re here."
Hearing Shuiyue’s slightly trembling voice revealed her inner unease.
After all, she still hadn’t completed a small task given to her by Lord Bao, and she was scared to death.
Seeing the worried expression on her pretty face, Luo Yang comforted her, "Sister Yue, haven’t I told you? As long as I’m here, I’ll protect you well. Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone bully you."
After hearing Luo Yang’s words, a bit of color returned to Shuiyue’s cheeks.
The two got out of the car and entered the villa.
They then easily made their way down to the basent, first arriving at the pool connected to the underground river.
Shuii was already in the pool, and seeing Luo Yang co, she said, "You’re here. Last night, I thought it over. I want to talk to you."
Every ti Shivei spoke, Luo Yang felt like she might run out of breath and pass away.
"Elder Sister Shuii, take your ti, don’t rush," Luo Yang advised.
As he spoke, he sat down on the cent base by the pool.
Shuii swam over.
Luo Yang pondered if rmaids were like Shuii, seeing her in a wedding dress underwater made him quite contemplative.
Under normal circumstances, given Shuii’s status, she might not wield great power, but as the second-in-command of Skull Fortress, it was easy for her to find a charming boyfriend.
Unfortunately, she could only live in the water, her appearance wasn’t too terrifying.
But which man could constantly stay in the water and live with Shuii?
"You better stay," Shuii said, revealing her head while her shoulders remained subrged.
The conditions agreed to with Lord Bao and Shuii were out of necessity.
He only devised this plan to safely rescue Zhu Zishan.
Thinking back now, Luo Yang found it humorous.
Yet, when there’s no other choice, even a clumsy thod is better than doing nothing.
If Lord Bao and Shuii were normal girls, it would be fine.
But they were like monsters.
Luo Yang often thought that if their secret were exposed, the history of fairy tales might drastically change.
It is said that "Beauty and the Beast" is a famous fairy tale.
If news of Luo Yang’s marriage spreads, a new famous tale called "The Handso Guy and the Monster" will likely be added to world fairy tales.
It might even beco more famous than "Beauty and the Beast."
Looking at Shuii’s pale skin, Luo Yang always thought of a person just climbed out of a coffin.
"Elder Sister Shuii, you’re the kind of girl who becos more charming the more one looks," Luo Yang praised.
"Are you mocking ?" Shuii’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Her nerves were overly sensitive, always imagining the worst from anything she heard.
Luo Yang jumped in fright, worrying if he might end up buried in the underground river.
He hurriedly patted Shuii’s head, saying her head didn’t have hair, then corrected it, saying she does, but not quite right either.
On Shuii’s head grew fine hair, better described as tendrils rather than hair.
They were so slender, resembling hair strands.
When touched, they felt very smooth.
Yet they were cold, without any warmth.
"Elder Sister Shuii, if I didn’t truly love you, would I still co? While others might think your appearance is strange, to , you are quite beautiful."
Luo Yang spoke earnestly.
Shuii actually laughed.
"You love . I won’t let you go unrewarded. Co into the water. I’ll teach you how to swim," Shuii gently shook Luo Yang’s hand.
Just hearing he needed to go down made Luo Yang’s legs go weak with fear.
Luo Yang didn’t have gills; if he went down into the water, he wouldn’t last long.
If Shuii got carried away and held onto Luo Yang, preventing him from surfacing for air, he might et his end.
The thought terrified him, causing Luo Yang to cling tightly to the cent base of the pool and say, "Elder Sister Shuii, don’t rush, I have to see Sister Teng first; she has sothing important to discuss."
Shuii was reluctant to let go, wanting to drag him into the pool.
Standing nearby, Shuiyue could only worry, not daring to speak.
"Get into the water first, then go find Sister Teng!"
"Elder Sister Shuii, ti is very crucial, otherwise we won’t get the Blood Devil!"
Hearing the ntion of Blood Devil made Shuii pause.
Otherwise, Luo Yang might indeed be dragged into the pool.
In the water, Shuii’s strength was imnse.
"Go find my sister first, then co back!" Shuii thought and finally agreed to let Luo Yang go.
Luo Yang felt like he received a pardon, sighing in relief.
His forehead was now covered with sweat, and his back damp.
When his gaze t Shuiyue, he noticed the subtle amused smile at the corner of her mouth, making Luo Yang feel awkward.
"Elder Sister Shuii, can this pool lead to the ocean?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
"Yes. Below is an underground river. Through the dark river, it leads to the sea!" Shuii replied.
To deal with Skull Fortress, one must first handle Shuii.
Otherwise, she could escape through the underground river. Who could chase after her?
"If only I could dive like you, I would swim and play with you every day," Luo Yang said.
This was rely a joke.
Unexpectedly, Shuii took it seriously and said, "You want to beco like this? I can help you!"
Upon hearing, Luo Yang was so terrified that he nearly fainted, his body tensing up.
Fortunately, his hands were still gripping the cent base, preventing him from falling in headfirst.
